CANDIDATE COMMITMENTS

I am an independent. 

I am committed to represent the people I serve and the needs of my country. 

I will work to build a more prosperous republic and a political system that includes all citizens, regardless of party preference.

The Independent Leadership Council’s Candidate Commitments:

1. Fair Competition - America’s success has been propelled by a radical commitment to competition. The founders understood a simple truth: competition drives innovation, creates accountability, and produces greater opportunity and better outcomes for everyone and our political system should be no different. 

As an independent, I will be dedicated to restoring competition through:

• • Promoting nonpartisan primaries and politicians receiving a majority of votes to be elected
  • Ending gerrymandering
  • Supporting term limits
  • Championing policies that strengthen opportunity, innovation, and the American middle class

2. Solutions that move our country forward - America’s biggest challenges will not be solved by one party acting alone. They need leaders willing to think independently, work with anyone who has a good idea, and put lasting results ahead of partisan victories.

As an independent, I will not caucus with either party, I will work with anyone to create opportunity, strengthen our country, and deliver results. I believe that my political independence is the single most valuable currency I can bring to the halls of Congress.

3. Genuine Accountability - Representative government only works when elected leaders are accountable to the people they serve. That means constituents deserve more than a vote, they deserve to know why that vote was cast.

As such, I commit to publicly explaining every vote I make on behalf of my constituents. Transparency builds trust, and trust is essential to a healthy democracy.

Above all else, I am optimistic that America’s best days are ahead of her, and I dedicate my work to putting the country above both party and self.
